PARIS, Sept. 29 (UJ!)—An "international army” of Italian, British and French troops to occupy Cze-| choslovakia’s Sudeten areas pending their actual surrender to Germany J will be proposed to Fuehrer Adolf Hitler at today's four-power meet-' ing in Munich, lt was reliably un-' derstood.
Pratae for developing the Munich meeting was divided among Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of j Great Britain, President Roosevelt, and Premier Mussolini.
DUCE'8 CALL HELPS Mussolini's last-minute telephone call to Berlin, asking Hitler to hold his armies In leash for at leaat 34 hours, was believed to have clinched Der Fuehrer’s decision to call the lead i of the four big powers Into con! ..ence.
President Roosevelt's two successive appeals to Hitler, as well as to the rest of Europe, paved the way, FYench foreign office officials said HOPE FOR PEACE PLAN Chamberlcln and Daladier, II was said, wlll take advantage of the meeting to try to lay th* groundwork for some sort of a general plan ol appeasement to eliminate Europe’s periodic war scares.
Among these matters are the war ln Spain, an air armaments limitation pact involving pledges against the aerial bombardment of civilian populations and the far-reaching and troublesome problems of economic difference*.
FRANCE MAY ENTER PACT France in the past has been reluctant to enter Into an international settlement that rule* out Soviet Russia, her ally who also is pledged to fight for the Czechs, but Daladler’c determination to preserve peace at the moment possibly may overshadow all else.
High French officials said early today, as Daladier packed to fly to Munich, that they were confident Prague would accept any de finite solution agreed to by the conferees. DALADIER CONTACTS SOVIETS Daladier, before his departure, was said to have communicated with Moscow and Informed the Soviet* that he will reprecent their interests, as well as Czechoslovakia’s, around the conference table.
In the meantime, Britain, Prance, Italy and Oermany have agreed to suspend further mobilization pending the outcome of the round-table talks of thc<r leaders ln a last-minute effort to avert war. INTERNATIONAL POLICE Paris, London, and Rome wer* said to be virtually ln agreement already on the proposal for an in-ternatlonoal "police force" and that, although Hitler wants to occupy th* Sudeten areas with his troop* v.">*
